Sony Officially Announces PlayStation All-Stars

By Brian P Rubin | 27 April 2012 | 9 Comments

Late yesterday, Sony officially confirmed the existence of PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, the long-rumored Smash Brothers clone fighting game that pits many of Sony’s exclusive characters against each other in a fight to the finish.

The game’s developed by SuperBot Entertainment, which has a pretty sweet website, and this looks like it’ll be their first game as a company. According to the post on the PlayStation Blog announcing the game, it’ll have single and multiplayer modes, including “a focus on online play which features a robust tournament mode. Players will be able to compete against each other as well as play cooperatively.” Cooperative play always gets an extra look from me…but in the end, will this be more than just a rebranded Smash Brothers? I’m skeptical.

If you haven’t already, be sure to take a look at the video above. And how about some screenshots below? Overall, what do you think?

I hate fighting games… And skater games… And soccer/football games as well, especially FIFA… Why would I want to dance around in a restricted arena and button mash or try to memorize combo’s when I can save the universe in Halo or hunt people down in vast cities as an assassin? I was hoping Sony had a jackpot like Uncharted or something… Meh…

Ha i wonder if snake is going to join this seeing as he’s in super smash bros brawl. Also would love to see patches from demon souls/dark souls make an appearance.

The only logical choice for the final boss is Kevin Butler. It only makes sense.
